Do You Need to Take Calcium Supplements?

Calcium is important for strong bones and teeth. It's also important in the functoning of your heart, cells, nerves and endocrine system.

Makes you think that everyone should be taking calcium supplements or eating high calcium foods, right? Well, not necessarily. It depends on your metabolism and the mineral balance in your body.

If you have a fast metabolism, you will most likely benefit from high calcium foods and highly utilizable calcium supplements.

If you have a slow metabolism, you most likely should not be eating high calcium foods or taking calcium supplements. Why? Because if you have a slow metabolism, you probably already have an excess of calcium in your tissues. And more calcium will slow your metabolism even more.

But beware! Before you start deciding whether you should eat high calcium foods or take calcium supplements based upon whether you think your metabolism is fast or slow, you need to make sure you know whether your metabolism really is fast or slow. It may not be what you think!
